James, who has been famously outspoken on social issues in the past, expressed his sadness at the weekend’s events and made a reference to Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan, appearing to punctuate it with a sense of frustration. The white nationalists openly and verbally aligned themselves with Trump’s campaign rhetoric, with some Charlottesville marchers yelling “Heil Trump” while also parroting antiquated, racist sentiment.

James is chief among a number of NBA players and other athletes who have spoken up against the violent, racist rhetoric after scores of white nationalists with torches marched, chanted racial slurs and attacked counter-protestors in Charlottesville on Friday night. The situation escalated and resulted in one person’s death and 19 injured after a car plowed over another group of counter-protestors. The group known as the Detroit Right Wings adopted the Detroit Red Wings’ logo as their own, which the NHL franchise also went online to condemn.

James’s Los Angeles-area home was vandalized with racist graffiti during this year’s NBA playoffs. He has been increasingly willing to speak out on social and political issues, especially related to race. He famously wore an "I Can't Breathe" shirt during warmups in 2014 to protest the NYPD killing Eric Garner, and he gave a joint speech about violence and racism with Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony at the 2016 ESPYS.

LeBron downplays Griffin's comments about him going to NY .
Where LeBron James will play when the 2017-18 season concludes is currently unclear — LBJ himself may not even know at this point — but that hasn’t stopped others from speculating about it. There are rumors swirling about him joining either the Lakers or Clippers, given that he owns a house in Los Angeles. That would make a ton of sense from that perspective, as well as from the marketing side.But now the NYC rumors are coming into play -- former Cavs GM David Griffin said he expected James to go to NYC instead of LA -- which, of course, would be another attractive destination for James and his family.
